Energetic, nature-loving dog walker

Pet care experience

Hi! I go by Loie (rhymes with Chloe)! I've been an animal lover since I was a child. When I was a teenager, I volunteered in my first animal shelter. Since then, I have volunteered with Mutt Scouts in Los Angeles - as a dog walker and socializer - and at Kitty Bungalow as a kitten cuddler and feeder. As a long time private yoga instructor and nanny, my clients always looked to me for dog sitting, dog walking, and dog running above using an outside source. I've been known to take my friends' and family's dogs on hikes, and for swims, simply because I wanted to spend time with a pup. I have great boundaries, am very skilled in detecting dog body language, and I can be very flexible with your needs!

Laura was awesome! Mango loved her and she was super flexible. She took Mango on long walks/hikes which we really appreciated. Thanks Laura!!!

Laura filled in for my usual dog walker and handled the job with ease. She sent pictures and texts to keep me up to date which was great. Job well done

I’ve traveled all over the world on Trusted HouseSitters and have cared for animals of all ages and needs, who require medication, injections, and special diets. I take care to ensure that I’m offering the best and safest pet care to any animal under my supervision.

Information Laura V. would like to know about your pet

All of their favorite things so that I can quickly get into a groove with them. Anything they dislike is helpful as well. Any allergies, medications they’re on, dietary restrictions, and their general activity level (whether they’ll tolerate a hike or will need a longer run).

A typical day

I love to hike and always enjoy bringing a pup along on the trails. I’m still new to Portland and discovering all of the beautiful nature. I can’t wait to share my discoveries with the dogs that I walk!
